HOW LONELY CAN I GET?
(Alex M Kramer / Joan Whitney)

as recorded by Kitty Kallen
with orchestra conducted by Jack Pleis
1955


How lonely can I get without your loving arms?
How lonely can I get when you're away?
As lonely as a poor forsaken whippoorwill
That sings his little heart out on a distant hill!

How lonely can my pillow get when I don't sleep?
I walk the floor each night that you're away.
I cry a lot and die a little, honest I do;
I know you love me, yet
How lonely can I get,
How lonely can I get without you?

As lonely as a poor forsaken whippoorwill
That sings his little heart out on a distant hill!

How lonely can my pillow get when I don't sleep?
I walk the floor each night that you're away.
I cry a lot and die a little, honest I do;
I know you love me, yet
How lonely can I get,
How lonely can I get without you?
